through a combination of cash and NextNav common stock. The
acquired licenses are in the same lower 900 MHz band as NextNav’s
current licensed spectrum.

portfolio and following the close of this significant transaction,
NextNav’s combined assets will total 3.5 billion MHz-PoPs of low
band spectrum,” stated NextNav CEO Mariam Sorond. “Acquiring these
licenses in the same lower 900 MHz band as our current licensed
spectrum will provide NextNav with broader capacity to advance and
strengthen PNT services in the future.”
Per the terms of the agreement, $2.5 million of the purchase
price will be paid in cash due within 30 days of the court granting
the receiver authority. The remainder will be paid for with NextNav
common stock based on the achievement of certain milestones, final
license transfer and various regulatory approvals.
The transaction is subject to Court as well as regulatory
approvals, including by the Federal Communications Commission.
